Computer controlled user interactive display system for presenting graphs with interactive icons for accessing related graphs
First Claim
1. A data processor controlled user interactive display system for monitoring and displaying at least one parameter of a dynamic process comprising:
- means for sensing dynamic values of said parameter,means for storing data representing said values,means for graphically presenting said stored data on said display including a plurality of graphically related icons, each representing aspects of said dynamic values,user interactive means for selecting one of said icons, andmeans responsive to said selecting means for graphically presenting other aspects of said dynamic values.

Abstract
A computer managed communication network with user interactive access via a plurality of display terminals and including a plurality of linked network objects with a system for managing said network in which values of a selected parameter are sensed respectively for each of a plurality of selected objects and stored. The stored data is presented in a graph display including a plurality of icons, each icon representing aspects of said values with respect to one of said selected objects. User interactive means for selecting one of said icons are provided together with means responsive to said selecting means for graphically presenting other aspects of said values. In the monitoring of networks, the invention may be used to track network servers which are monitored via a distribution graph in which icons representative of servers are linked to more detailed line graphs of such servers showing the changes in parameter values versus a time line parameter.
